environment.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

A completely effective team must also have a leader who accepts the role with enthusiasm. They must be ready to take full responsibility for the success or failure of the team. Analyze major issues that libraries have to overcome during strategizing their strategic planning in the micro and macro environment.

One of the major issues that libraries have today is that students are so used to their mobile devices and they rather search for information on the internet than go visit the library. This is happening at every level of education, not just college, but high school or elementary school.

That is a big challenge for libraries. This is why an effective leader needs a hands-on approach and take a different perspective and strategy to attract students. This goes also for teachers, who have to be on the same page because they are the ones who can ask students to go to the library, not only to read books that can be found on the internet but to do other kinds of activities. That is when the leader has to devise a good strategic plan for the micro and macro environment.

On one side, the leader has to renew the services and activities offered by the library. The library cannot be seen anymore as the place to get books. The new approach is two-fold: the place to better interact with information on the traditional format but also with the digital world. Then establish a series of programs and learning activities that include conferences with experts, workshops with professional speakers, interaction with students of other countries via the internet, and other creative ideas to make students and teachers go to the library because it is the place to "grow and learn."

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
